2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother , 29 Mar 2008
This review is from: Checkmate (Mass Market Paperback)
Karna Bodman's credentials to write this book lie in her having served in President Ronald Reagan's administration, on the National Security Council and has been a media journalist for 15 years. Unfortunately, they do not make her a good thriller writer. This book is cliched, predictable and the characters are stereotypes you could hardly care less about. Example: The president's comments on the press is "Amazing they even know where Kashmir is. They probably think its where they make sweaters". Hmmm; this from a writer who has an Islamist terrorist group launch a purloined cruise missile in chapter one, then in chapter two introduces the Brilliant, Beautiful, Blonde heroine who, under the avuncular guidance of ex-Army General friend of her father and his evil-accountant partner, is coincidentally working on a computer programme that will take over control of an enemy cruise missile while its in flight and.... then I lost the will to live,or at least to read more than a few chapters further. "High Tension"? Give me a break!
